Made to Break by Kathryn Wardill

https://radiantpavilion.com.au/listing/made-to-break

A series of wearable jewellery objects, handmade from glass and silver expand my 30—year research investigation into unique ways to combine two materials. The objects created in concept and design explore breaking, from a number of perspectives, including physically and conceptually.

Glass is a material known for breaking. This inherent concept forms the basis for this series of handmade jewellery objects which are made to be worn and made to break. The work will be created, documented, worn, and documented each day of 2024 Radiant Pavilion and shared via the artist’s self—published website www.wardill.com

The works exploit the physical properties of glass as an expressive medium, pulled into delicate threads, manipulated to create extreme fragility, a metaphor for moments in life.
